2. i am writing that language. for example i have developed an image format 
which is not constrained, say, to holding 32-bit numbers, but arbitrary 
natural numbers, so i do not need to bother myself with constraints following 
from using X-bit numbers...you can say that it is obvious how to develop a 
format for such an image, but my opinion is that obvious small changes are 
also changes...

note: it is not an image format for squeak
